In her own words:

Having graduated from Dentistry in 1977 from the University of Toronto, I was fascinated with how the health of the body was reflected in the mouth.

My interest in dentistry stemmed from my fear of dentists. I chose the profession of dentistry because I was determined to overcome my fear of dentistry and help others. The more I learned about the art and science the more my fears diminished. I believe that our clients need to be provided with significant information about their mouth and the various options that are available to them so that we can co-diagnose and co-explore the different opportunities together.

Over the years I received my fellowship at the Academy of General Dentistry in 1987 along with several thousand hours in continuing education courses. Some of these include:

• Advanced Dental Education at the Pankey Institute, Completed Levels 1-6
• Post graduate education in: Crown and Bridge, Prosthetics, Occlusion, Orthodontics, Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction
• Kinesiology
• Craniosacral
• Reiki
• Heavy metal (mercury) toxicity.
• Acupuncture at the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada.
• cosmetic courses with Larry Rosenthal in New York & Florida
• neuromuscular dentistry and chirodontics
• Ozone application in dentistry

I teach internationally in Canada, Cuba, Mexico, the United States and China. I was a regular contributor to the Ask-A-Dentist column in Chatelaine, and I currently contribute to AM 740’s “From a Woman’s Perspective” with Marilyn Wetston. Also, I have featured articles in The Globe and Mail, and had several TV appearances nationwide on City, TVO, CHCH, CTV, Fashion TV and Global TV.

Wellness Based Dentistry ^TM offers a full range of dental services, including conservative cosmetic treatments and orthodontics. The practice has been amalgam (silver-mercury) free since 1983. An integrated approach to all dental treatments creates the best results for our clients. Rosemary consults with clients on creating treatment plans and coordinating information testing and detoxification programs with other health care providers.

Diagnostic chairside mockups are available with follow through photography to envision the future for cosmetic and functional changes.

We welcome new patients and are happy to explore the possibilities to enable you to keep your teeth for a lifetime.
